OK… Tepoz’ forecast is “no shoes” – and somehow I get the gut feeling that the look on his face is not exasperation, but rather one of knowing a different storm is coming that’s gonna drop something far more formidable –

And she’s missing a golden opportunity! Quick, Monica, while Phix is ‘occupied’, “poit” to the library and read all the things she wouldn’t want you to! Books from previous cycles detailing what happens in 2011 and 2012, lists of dangerous magical artifacts, her diary (“something something BC: Encountered a museum director today. He couldn’t answer my riddles. Delicious! Make a note: Always go for the museum directors…”).

I wanted to say, I like this expanded page format much better than the old-style strip format. There’s a lot more room for the art now even when there needs to be a lot of dialog, and it’s reading more like a comic book, which suits the story better.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, I have the feeling I may have but can’t find it at the moment, but, on the off-chance that I haven’t, Tepoz is right. I remember listening to an interview with Martin Bell, who was a BBC journalist that covered the war in Yugoslavia. He said that he felt as if he had visited another planet when he got back to Britain. His own country felt strange and foreign to him.
